Birds Eye View

(Zion whispers) I got a bird's eye view
(Girl in the background) Hip hop, is so 

many things you can say about it, 

know what I mean?
Like, on the real, hip hop is like, just, 

beautiful
Hip hop is life

[Verse 1]
From the first time I saw you, 

infatuation
Pulled to the side to provide 

conversation
Wild reputation but you were so cool
Any old fool knew that you was a 

jewel
Ghetto to ghetto, your influence 

settled
More hardcore than r&b but not metal
Blacker than a kennel, you made me 

feel mellow
Introduction to my life, I said hello
Meet me in a minute 'cause I gotta 

finish school
Some of my homies, they never finished 

puffin' woo's
Stayin' up late, always studying the 

tapes
The world watched you fall in love, I 

guess fate had a,
Grip on my mind state, I wanna 

rhyme, wait
I fell in line, getting signed at the 

wrong gates
And so my heart braced at first for real
But I would still be lovin' you 'cause 

deep is what I feel

[Chorus]
I got a bird's eye view (hip hop...the 

realness)
I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu
I be wit'chu, I be there wit'chu
2x

[Verse 2]
She's the one I always count on, one 

that wouldn't leave me
One that's in the city always written 

in graffiti
One that keeps me company, when I'm 

all alone
She's my heart, my mind, my spirit and 

my bones
She's the only one I know that would 

go across the globe
Meet me in a foreign land, treat me 

like I'm home
Everything I own, give to her, she 

deserves it
Treats me like a king, every syllable is 

perfect
Searched through the earth for a reason 

just to be here
And since I met her every moment's 

like a leap year
Baby you can sleep here, you can stay 

with me
Anywhere you go, know I'm probably 

gon' be
Full of energy, and you never acting 

tired
You're everything I need, when I 

prayed, God supplied
You my chunky fire, blessings you 

provide
Always in my life 'til the day that I die

[Chorus]
2x

(hip hop, hip hop, hip hop...is life)
